I have only had 3 occasions to pull my weapon and all 3 were due to aggresive dogs. In all 3 occasions I didn't fire because the situation didn't require it. In the last scene the dog was at my wife's feet [ she had scooped up our Scottie ] and my weapon was within a foot of the dogs body. If he had crouched to lunge I would have fired. The dog instead went back into his own yard and we continued our walk.
If you ever pull the trigger your life is going to be complicated for a while. You have to be left with no choice.
In the last scene I was dressed in a tee shirt and Dickies work shorts, hat and shoes. Not much space to conceal carry something that really requires a holster. KelTec P11 9mm in the pocket, S&W 12 round mag so I have a full grip. It's always there. Light enough to not be a bother and small enough to conceal. As has been mentioned, if you don't have it with you ALWAYS, then it is useless.
On our walks [along with the P11] I now carry a large can of Bear Spray. If the dog's owner isn't going to do any dog training then I will
